A web accelerator is a software that speeds up a website, normally by caching its content. There are various sorts of accelerators, but in the general case such programs cache static content or database responses and provide them instead of the hosting server, as a consequence enhancing the performance of an Internet site noticeably. The latter can be done because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not only will an Internet site operate better, but the server load shall also decline, which will allow you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will permit you to increase the speed of any type of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting firms don't provide any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web applications in case you'd like to use this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

In case you get one of our web hosting plans, you shall have 3 widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly using the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with our plans. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it can greatly accelerate any Internet site since it caches the web pages a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them every time that guest opens them again. Because Varnish operates much faster than any hosting server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will grow significantly. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a hosting server, so it's much like Varnish, but is used predominantly for database-driven Internet sites. Since the site shall connect to its database a lot less, the overall web server load shall be minimized significantly. The last accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online apps like chats and booking websites since it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Dependant upon the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our semi-dedicated server plans shall allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. Memcached is among the most popular accelerators since it can effortlessly accelerate any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, as a result the server won't need to process identical requests time after time. The platform is suitable for sites built with programs like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is an effective accelerator which caches any kind of content and is also frequently called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches web pages which are opened by a site visitor for the first time and provides them each and every time that very same visitor opens them again. Varnish can accelerate an Internet site several times since it delivers content faster than any server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time apps like chats, web browser games or social networks. It processes data in little parts as soon as a user enters something, so it operates much more quickly than similar platforms in which users submit large portions of information which require time to be processed. You'll be able to select the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each and every one of the 3 accelerators using your Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you purchase a dedicated server from our company and you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP, you'll be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All solutions include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the actual amount depends on the plan that you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online programs including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info in real time as the client enters it, which makes it considerably quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven website, not simply will the Internet site work faster, but also the load on the web server will decrease since there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole web pages once a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Because Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the overall performance of a website using this accelerator could increase around 300%.
